Any cheerleader being absent from two practices without a substantial reason will be replaced. 3. There will be eight cheerleaders and one substitute on a squad. 4 Each year freshmen and sophomores will have to try out and be re elected Juniors who are elected will remain auto matncally their Senior year 5 The head cheerleader will be elected from the Senior class by the other cheer leaders 6 Substitute cheerleaders will have to be re elected to become a regular They will not come on as regulars automatically even if they are a member of the Junior class 7 Cheerleaders will try out before and be elected by the entire student body 8 Uniforms will be bought by the cheer leaders with the exception of the skirts now being used, which are school prop erty We cheerleaders are extremely proud of the basketball team and also of the stu dents for the backing they gave the team and the cheering squad. We hope that next year the team will go on to even greater heights and that school spirit in basketball and other school activities will continue to grow.
